Setting up a spooky table for Halloween is not as
expensive an affair as it is creative and imaginative. Use dark blue,
black, dark brown, ash or violet colors for your tablecloth. Keep the
light dim on the table to heighten the devilish effect. Food should look
creepy and even the tableware should suit your theme. The blood red
punch, different delicacies shaped like fingers of the dead, different
body parts, eyeballs and looking like fresh raw meat are the treats of
the day. You can also keep candied apples and other assorted candies for
the feast. The tableware has to be carefully selected too. It should
look as scary as possible. If you are wary of buying different sets for
wares for every holiday, you can just buy large orange pumpkins, hollow
them out and use them to serve as bowls. Set these pumpkin bowls on your
Halloween table and serve food from them using long ladles.
You can also cut out paper stars, sun and moon and other awry and weird
shapes such as skeletons and spiders, brush them with craft glue and
sprinkle glitter on them. Place them on your Holiday table randomly and
secure them in place using transparent take or safety pins. You can also
shape wire into a spider web and make a special candleholder for
yourself on Halloween and win the applause from your guests. Put the
plastic spider in it to make it look more realistic. You can also place
plastic bugs on your food to make it look repulsive or use spattered
blood pranks to make as if the blood is still flowing from some of your
preparations that will make the vampires cluck their tongues with
delight. After setting up the whole table, you can also use cotton
cording to weave a spider's web across the table but be sure that it is
easily removable, when the feast actually begins.
